About HydroFathom
Our Mission
At HydroFathom, we teach people about the water needed for their lives, tap water and the water that grows their food. We illuminate the perpetual interaction between humans and nature that constantly replenishes humanity's most precious resource, water.
Our History
HydroFathom launched in 2024 and received 501.c(3) nonprofit status that year. We then founded this site which presents and explores some of the foundational concepts of our organization. Water professionals, people actively engaged in providing water to the public, started this site to help people learn about their water and to provide educational resources to the public so that people can make informed decisions about water policy. We have since expanded our offerings to include lesson plans and educational videos.
Our Team
Our team members possess decades of experience building water infrastructure in locations as diverse San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange County, Tuscon, Houston and the California Central Coast. Additionally, our team has explored natural water resources throughout the country. Since, our organization began in San Luis Obispo, California, our team often focuses on the water lessons of this state. California also provides a host of opportunities to explore humans use of water since it stands as the state with the largest water supply in the U.S.
